History

Headquartered in New York City, the arts-meets-technology startup was founded in March 2013, by Broadway producers Brian M. Fenty (CEO & Co-Founder) and Merritt Baer (President & Co-Founder).[2][3] As of 2013, fewer than .1% of tickets for Broadway shows were being bought via smartphone apps or otherwise using mobile devices, according to The Broadway League[4] - presenting a large opportunity for TodayTix to better make theater accessible to millennials.[5] Fenty subsequently became CEO in 2017.[6]

A beta version of the app was released in September 2013 for customers with iPhones to test.[7] Within three months the app had been used to buy tickets 50,000 times.[7] The TodayTix app was officially launched in December 2013.[1]

In May 2014, the company received $1 million in an additional seed funding round from Rubicon Venture Capital, Ryan Rockefeller, Nicolas Jammet, and Jessica Verrilli. In November 2014, TodayTix announced its $5 million Series A financing from investors including Rubicon Venture Capital (again), TYLT Lab, Scott Birnbaum and SF Capital Group.[8][9]

As of mid-2015, TodayTix began "selling roughly 3 percent of all the tickets on Broadway" and by February 2016, it was 4%.[3][10] As of February 2021, 1.6 million people had purchased tickets via TodayTix, and 3.6 million users are registered customers.[citation needed]

In September 2018, TodayTix celebrated 5 years with a milestone of reaching $250 million in tickets sold. Following this anniversary, TodayTix launched an original content venture called "TodayTix Presents," that offers audiences first-look access to performances from their favorite artists debuting new work.[11]

In May 2019, TodayTix announced a growth equity investment of $73 million, led by Great Hill Partners, to enter its next stage of growth.[12]

In February 2020, TodayTix acquired Encore Tickets and its subsidiary brands, leading to the formation of TodayTix Group.[13] TTG announced the acquisition of review aggregator website Show-Score in July 2020, and Broadway Roulette in May 2021,[14][15] Goldstar in January 2022, and Secret Cinema[16] in September 2022, joining London Theatre and New York Theatre Guide. Show-Score, Broadway Roulette, Goldstar, and Secret Cinema continue to operate as independent brands under TodayTix Group's growing portfolio.[17] In 2022, TodayTix announced plans to relocate its headquarters from 32 Avenue of the Americas to 1501 Broadway.[18]

International expansion

In June 2015, TodayTix launched in London's West End and began offering the first paperless tickets for shows in London's West End theatre district in August 2015.[19][20] In 2019 they expanded to Melbourne and Sydney, Australia [21]

Operations and products

TodayTix launched the first-ever mobile lotteries for theater tickets, both on Broadway and in London's West End, selling discounted same-day tickets via lotteries conducted through its apps. It also features a special TodayTix Rush program, in which deeply discounted tickets are offered on a first-come first-serve basis the same day of a performance.[22][23]
